Spelt Flour Pizza Dough

Yields: 8 doughs scaled @ 200 g each

Ingredients 

750 g   Bread Flour    

250 g   Spelt-whole meal Flour

570 g   Water 

20 g     Sea Salt

20 g     Fresh Yeast

80 g     Olive Oil                                             

Semolina Flour           As needed

Method

Mixing: Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl. In a spiral mixer, mix on 1st speed for 3 mins. in order to incorporate the ingredients. Finish mixing on 2nd speed for about 7 mins. until you have a very soft and stretchy dough. The dough should be supple and moderate gluten development. Desired dough temperature: 75°F.

Bulk Fermentation: 1 ½ hrs. as this will help the dough to become more elastic and improve its flavour.

Folding: Fold the dough once after 45 mins. of bulk fermentation.

Dividing and Shaping: Divide the dough into 200g portion. Pre-shape lightly into rounds. Transfer doughs onto trays and cover. Refrigerate and use when needed.

Baking: Dust some semolina flour on the table, use a rolling pin to roll out the bases, rotating the pizza base as you go. Or press with your hands in a circular motion to achieve a flat and even pizza base.                                                                                    

Garnish doughs with sauce and your choice of toppings. Bake in a very hot oven using a ceramic stone or in a wood-fired oven.
